Top 3 in the region and you get hammered in your first scrimmage...
Middlesboro may be 12th or 13th in the region.

This is a shame. I am so sick of the way Middlesboro handles ALL their sports programs. There are plenty of boys capable of playing basketball in that high school. But, until they hire a BASKETBALL coach that does not play favorites and only talks with a certain few about playing for him, this will never stop. He was the third choice of being hired for this position, I am not sure why the other interviews went south, but this was a bad choice. And no I don't hate the guy, he has been an assistant for years with Middlesboro and you would think he would have the ability to recruit talent. They say he is really good to the kids and I know that counts for a lot. But you need to be mature enough to know kids who are capable of winning a ball game and not calling certain kids God's gift of talent when obviously you have no clue. Just because you shoot the ball every time you get your hands on it does not make you talented. It's selfish basketball and individualism. Middlesboro should never be beat that bad at any sport. They say there are no kids...please, I get so sick of hearing that. There are plenty of kids that would love to be a part of something, but you pick and choose based on bias and who is who. Take a look around you!
